I cannot believe that it has been a year since we lost Scott. Today 4/7 was the last time I spoke to him, I can still hear his laugh. He was the kindest person I have ever met. There is truth to the saying only the good die young! Scott you are no longer with is in body but I know spiritually you are still here. You will not be forgotten. Until we meet again

We are so very saddened to read this about Scott, especially for his wife, and young children. My son Christopher, played youth hockey with Scott at the Stoneham Arena for several years. Scott and his family also lived across the street from my parents home at that time, so I saw them whenever I visited. I send my prayers to his wife and children, as well as his parents too. He was such a nice young man back then, and I am sure he still was. God Bless.....Carolyn & Joe Del Rossi

I met Scott through a mutual customer. Our work overlapped so I had the pleasure of sharing time in meetings with him. Every time I would see Scott he would greet me or I would greet him by me calling him Adam or him calling me Scott. Our mutual contact Lisa would often calls us by each others names. We both got a good laugh out of it and continued it over the years. It was a pleasure to know you Adam, I mean Scott :) You will be missed. I offer my condolences to your family. May you rest in peace.

Scott was a truly good man and kind soul. I had the pleasure of working with him in project management many years ago. He always brought a positive attitude and a smile to everyone who was lucky enough to know him. Condolences and prayers
to his family. He will be missed by many..

Lisa, Jake, Ava, Cole,
I'm so sorry to hear about Scott. Your dad was my first friend. I'm sure he was a lot of people's first friend- he was that type of guy. No one would be left out when Scott was around. I grew up next door, we rode big wheels, played matchbox cars and made mud pies, then came stickball, street hockey and skating on the pond. I remember Scott going off to kindergarten and I would wait on my steps for him to get home. I'm sure he was all set playing with the baby Tom boy next door, but he would never let on, that was Scott. He stood up for everyone, and looked out for the younger kids in the neighborhood. He was everyone's protector. With his contagious laugh and smile, you knew if Scott was around you would have fun. My heart aches for you all.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott for the past 10 years. We were attached at the hip for 7 of those years working closely on a large account. I always joked he was my work husband! Scott was a ray of sunshine. Always with a smile! That smile grew when he spoke about his wife and children. Scott's passing is a huge void for so many. Lisa, Jake, Ava and Cole my sincere condolences to you and the rest of the family

Very sorry to hear of Scott's passing. Nothing like playing in the backyard on Brookbridge or some street hockey with everybody. Great days we will all always remember. Take care Scott.
